Chapter 67 Traitor
When Yan Tai heard this, he knew that Feng Shenyu was very angry, and he quickly came out to make arrangements.
When he came out and saw Yu Zhan standing guard in the yard, he went up to him and asked:
"What happened? Why are you so angry?"
"Someone entered the study and found someone to lure the young man over based on the portrait of the lady in the study."
When Yan Tai heard this, he thought to himself that it was bad.
He was in charge of deploying the personnel in the inner courtyard of the mansion, and Yu Zhan was responsible for its safety.
Someone actually broke into the study, which meant something was wrong here, so he stepped up to investigate.
A quarter of an hour later, Yan Tai appeared in the study. After presenting the thing in his hand, he knelt down with a plop.
"My dear, it's Uncle Wang. He committed suicide out of fear of his crime. These are the letters and relics he left behind."
Feng Shenyu picked up the letter on the table and read it.
The letter said that his son was in the hands of the other party, and if he did not pass on the message, his son would die.
That's why I went into the study and passed the message outside.
He said that Feng Shenyu was so kind to him that he found it difficult to face the situation, so he chose to end his life.
After reading the letter, Feng Shenyu asked Yantai, "Do you believe it?"
Yantai shook his head and said, “I don’t believe it.
Yu Zhan was just shown Uncle Wang's body. Yu Zhan said that Uncle Wang was killed first and then hanged there.
The stool under Uncle Wang was still three feet away from his feet."
"Besides, Uncle Wang has been in charge of cleaning the courtyard of the study, and he has been doing this diligently for decades without making any mistakes.
I have sent people to look for his son, and once he is found, everything will become clear."
Feng Shenyu stared at the inkstone expressionlessly and said, "Why don't you go and find out who killed Uncle Wang.
If this person is not caught, the secrets on my desk might appear on Gao Hongchen's desk tomorrow."
After hearing this, Yan Tai quickly agreed.
When he came out of the study, sweating profusely, Yu Zhan saw him and said:
"There are only a few people coming in and out. Have you checked them all?"
"Well, I checked Yunniang who works in the kitchen, Uncle Wang who cleans, Wu Qing and Wu Lian who guard the door, and even Yanxin and Yanmo who serve as personal attendants. There is no suspicion."
Yu Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Go call these people over so I can take a look."
Yan Tai looked up at Yu Zhan and asked, "What are you looking at?"
“Let’s see if they have any skills, they have the opportunity to approach the study and are very familiar with this courtyard.
If you have the skills, you can come here at night."
Yantai nodded and said, "That makes sense."
After finding everyone, Yu Zhan looked at them one by one but found nothing.
Finally, Yan Tai and Yu Zhan both sat on the steps at the door, wondering who it was.
Yantai said, "Why don't you call all the guards in the mansion to ask them?
It must have happened last night or the night before."
Yu Zhan nodded, stood up and left.
After a while, he came over with a man:
"He was on duty in this area last night, and he said he didn't see anyone suspicious."
Yan Tai suddenly had an idea and said, "Could that be him?"
Yu Zhan and the guard were both shocked when they heard this.
The guards felt their hair run down when they were stared at by the two men.
"No, no, it's not me."
But seeing that Yan Tai and Yu Zhan had become suspicious, the guards immediately became anxious and sweated profusely.
His mind raced, and after a moment he suddenly said:
"I was away for a while last night."
"Why did you leave? Where did you go? What did you do?" Yu Zhan asked coldly.
"I have a stomachache and went to the toilet."
"Why do you have a stomachache?" Yan Tai asked from the side.
"Would you like to think about it again?"
The guard thought carefully and said, "I ate two bites of osmanthus cake before going to the toilet."
"Where did you get the osmanthus cake?"
"Yun... Yunniang from the kitchen gave it to me." The guard said hesitantly.
When Yu Zhan and Yan Tai heard this, they both looked at each other and said, "Yun Niang."
The two of them ran back.
Yu Zhan took two steps, turned around and said to the guard:
"Go and receive fifty sticks yourself."
The two men came quickly and blocked Yunniang, who was packing her things to escape, in the yard.
Seeing that she was exposed and had nowhere to escape, Yunniang bit the poison in her mouth and committed suicide.
Yan Tai came back to report to Feng Shenyu. Feng Shenyu looked like he was possessed by Ye Luosha, with a sinister and sharp face.
The inkstone below was trembling with fear.
Her graceful and delicate fingers tapped unconsciously on the table.
"Does Yunniang know martial arts?"
"No." Yu Zhan replied.
"Then how could she hang Uncle Wang's body from the beam?"
Feng Shenyu said coldly.
"My dear, we also suspect that there is someone in the mansion helping her."
Feng Shenyu heard this and said, "Let's stop here. You can investigate the rest secretly. Don't alert him after you find out.
Let him pass on some news we want him to pass on to his master right under our noses."
"Sir, do you know who Yunniang belongs to?" Yan Tai asked.
"I don't know now, but I'll know after trying it twice."
Yan Tai nodded after hearing this.
Feng Shenyu asked Yu Zhan again: "Have you finished interrogating the masked man?"
"That man is from the Star-Moon Killer Organization. He received a dart and his target is you." Yu Zhan reported.
"Star-Moon Killer Group?"
"Yes. This is a small organization that has only emerged in recent years. They don't follow the rules and only care about money.
If you have enough money, you can even break into the palace."
Feng Shenyu suddenly laughed wickedly after hearing this:
“Dajin does not allow such unruly people to exist.
Where is their organization's headquarters?"
"It is said to be from the Western Regions, but there is a base in the capital."
"Could they be from Xirong?"
"Yes, they are a group of Xirong people."
Feng Shenyu shook his hand and said, "Go and send a message to the Duke of Zhenguo, asking him to send people to wipe out this assassin organization."
"Yes."
Yu Zhan obeyed the order and went out.
Yantai knelt down and admitted his fault: "My dear, it was my negligence that so many people sneaked into the mansion."
"Everyone in the mansion will clean it again. Go to the dark room to receive your punishment."
"Yes."
Yan Tai was soaked with sweat and left trembling.
Feng Shenyu sorted out the events of the past few days and soon thought of Li Huaiyu.
The next morning, Li Huaiyu happily came to find Feng Shenyu. When he walked to the corridor, he even teased the canary in the birdcage.
"Ice Face, what brings you to me so early?"
Seeing Fengshenyu's gloomy face, he stepped forward and asked:
"What's wrong? Did you have a quarrel with my aunt, or was rejected by my aunt? You look so ugly."
Feng Shenyu didn't say anything.
Yan Xin, who was standing next to him, briefly recounted what happened yesterday, and finally focused on Feng Shenyu's suspicion.
After hearing this, Li Huaiyu put away his smile and suddenly became more serious than ever before.
"So, I'm the only one who has seen the painting of the beauty in your study?"
After saying that, he thought for a moment and instantly locked onto his concubine.
"Did you check before your concubine entered your house?" Feng Shenyu asked.
Li Huaiyu frowned deeply at this moment, and thought seriously:
"She is my wife's maid. I took her into my room because my wife had a miscarriage."
Feng Shenyu heard this and said, "Your wife is from the Wang family of Gusu. Was this maid brought here from the Wang family?"
Li Huaiyu said: "He is not a child born in the Gusu Wang family. My wife said that he is the adopted daughter of his wet nurse."
"Go back and don't alert anyone. Investigate secretly and tell me when you figure it out."
Li Huaiyu nodded.
Feng Shenyu has been busy here, and there has been a fierce fight in the court.
At the morning court session, Huan Zi'an produced new evidence and accused Qi Zhuo, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, of murder and hiding the body in Chunhui Garden.
